Comacchio Half Marathon

The race in the small Venice of the Po Delta

The Comacchio Half Marathon is a half marathon that winds through the streets, canals, and bridges of Comacchio, a charming municipality in the Province of Ferrara nestled in the heart of the Po Delta, in Emilia-Romagna. Nicknamed "little Venice" for its network of canals and bridges crossing the historic center, Comacchio offers a unique setting for those who love to run: a route through alleys, water expanses, and views of the famous Valleys, the realm of pink flamingos.

Three races for all paces

The event offers multiple distances designed for athletes and enthusiasts of all levels:

• Comacchio Half Marathon: the competitive half marathon on the official distance of 21.097 km, Fidal-approved.
• Comacchio 10K: the 10 km in both competitive and fun run versions, for those who prefer to walk or run freely.
• Prolife Dogs&Run: the approximately 1.5 km run-walk to be tackled with your dog, the most playful and family-friendly moment of the entire day.

A young event that is growing fast

Born in 2024 and organized by Ravenna Runners Club ASD, the Comacchio Half Marathon has established itself in just a few editions as one of the most beloved events on the Emilia-Romagna spring running calendar, attracting over a thousand participants to the finish line. The event's patron is the Comacchio champion Laura Fogli, a historic Italian marathon runner, a symbol of the bond between the city and long-distance running.

Not just a race: the charm of Comacchio

Running the Comacchio Half Marathon also means discovering a village with an extraordinary heritage: the monumental Trepponti, the Loggiati dei Cappuccini, the Clock Tower, and the lagoon atmosphere that makes Comacchio one of the most fascinating destinations on the Ferrara coast. The evening start, at 6:00 PM, offers participants the warm sunset light on the canals, transforming the race into an experience that combines sport, landscape, and tradition.
